Roundup Question ??
I have a small flower planting area of about 25 sq. ft. When I plant
flowers in it each summer, the weeds come up so bad, I can keep up with weeding it each week. (I also much about 3 or 4 inches, but that doesn't stop these weeds). Before I plant flowers, if I soak the ground with Roundup, how long would I have to wait to plant the flowers ? thanks !! James |

James Roundup is not a pre-emergent herbicide. It works only on growing plants, not on seeds. What kind of mulch are you using? -- David E.

James Roundup only works on growing plants. There is something wrong with either what you are using for mulch or how you are doing it. David |

James I bought some new stuff called Preen. It is pre-emergent, meaning you put it on when the weeds AREN'T there, and it keeps them from sprouting. Says it can be cultivated right into soil next to existing plants. Check it out. I hope it works as good as it says, I have a large area that needs weed control. Steve |

Soaking the ground with roundup would be a waste of it. It has to be sprayed on growing plants to work. If you keep up with the weeding, and never let them go to seed, you will have much less work after a couple years. If your weeds are perenials, you need to kill them off or pull them before they have any chance to grow much greenery every time. It is a lot easier to pull or hoe the weeds early when they are small than it is when they get big, so do it often. Do not let the bed grow weeds in the off season, or you just continue the problem. Everytime a weed goes to seed, you will be fighting the weeds for more years. |
